Dear Mr. Williams:
Very pleased to hear from you, really very happy.
I read your reply letter with joy, and admire your modest and prudent character. Together with my governess, Mr. Warren, I have read those complicated mathematical formulas and pictures which you have attached at the end of your letter. I have to honestly admit that I haven't read a lot.
But Mr. Warren was so excited that he almost passed out. It may be rude to say that, but I have never seen the old gentleman so excited that he even ripped off a lot of his beard.
We have deliberated over your decision for a long time, and we believe that a mathematical genius like you should not be buried. But we also respect your decision. Therefore, after writing a book based on the research results you provided, Mr. Warren named "Anonymous" as the first author.
Your letter also contains a lot of knowledge of advanced mathematics, please allow me to call them advanced mathematics, this is indeed not a field that beginners, or even ordinary mathematics lovers, can touch. So radiant is your intellect, your wisdom is as vast as the sages of old legends. The mathematicians of the National Research Institute in Hampawo have always hoped to publish a book containing the most cutting-edge mathematical knowledge of this era, so as to encourage young researchers to continue to move forward. Mr. Warren took your letter to them, and my father told me that the Institute held two days of meetings for this purpose, which alarmed even those in the tower.
I sent you "Probability and Mathematical Statistics" and "A Brief Introduction to Advanced Mathematics", which have already been published. I asked the maid to inquire about the delivery speed of the post office. After calculating the time, when you receive my reply, all mathematicians in the entire continent should be able to read this knowledge. Thanks to the Church of the Sages, its knowledge spreads more quickly.
Once again I commend your generosity of knowledge, and your humility. I never thought that in this life, I could meet such a great person as you. Mr. Warren asked me to tell you that if you are interested in continuing new research in the field of mathematics, the National Research Institute in the Kingdom of Hampawa welcomes you. If you have any comments and suggestions about these two books, please send them to me with the next letter, and I will pass them on to the editors.
My regular friends are always social, and while I love a fancy dance or a big dinner party, it's still more fun to make new friends. Mr. Williams, I think it is difficult to express my respect for you in words alone, but you are truly the most humble and knowledgeable person I have ever known.
Male friends of the same age always like to brag about their achievements at parties. But you and I know that true humility should only be possessed by people like you.
I don't know if a shallow person like me is qualified to be a pen pal with you, but I will definitely reply every letter you send me seriously. Hope the conversation with me, don't waste your time, or it will be my sin.
I really dare not discuss mathematics with you in the letter. Those mathematical marks like ritual symbols have become part of my recent nightmare. Perhaps you are also interested in literary issues. I know that a wise person like you spends time reading on weekdays.
I don't know what kind of books you like? Hate the novels of chivalry that critics despise every day
In addition to fulfilling the requirements of the Chinese teacher Miss Shepard on time, I also like to read some ancient classics. Perhaps I should put it another way, those amazing stories that history professors find in ancient books.
They are really interesting, but it is a pity that only a few people can read such stories. The demons of fate, the weirdness of the deep sea, these stories that have disappeared into history with the passage of time are not inferior to any reading material in this era .
I know that the Hampawa Kingdom also has many outstanding writers. Although the languages of the three kingdoms are different, thank God, our characters are the same. I have read very few pure literature books, but the two books "The Cat and the Hound in the Black Forest" and "The Revenge of the Princess" are very good. I wonder if you have read them. I also really liked that "Knight Detective", which is the best chivalry novel of this era. Although my father warned me not to indulge in such books, it was very pleasant to hide the kerosene lamp under the bed at night and read a short paragraph secretly before going to bed-just be careful not to be spotted by the visiting nuns.
A few days ago, I participated in a friend's reading salon. I heard that Nolan City, where you are located, has published a very interesting book of fairy tales. Businessmen from afar are deciding to cooperate with booksellers in the Hampawa Kingdom. I don't know if you know the book I'm talking about. If possible, can you mail me a copy in your reply letter. I'm really curious about this book.
Of course, if you do read it, I'd be happy to discuss it with you, too.
Thank you again for your humility and generosity, and I wish you good health.
sincerely yours,
Mary
This is really a long letter, and it took five pages of letter paper to finish it.
"These honorific titles are really a headache."
Jenkins complained softly, but his face was full of smiles. Folding the letter paper together and putting it back in the envelope, he decided to write back to Miss Mary after reading the two sent books. By the way, he also learned about the level of mathematics in this world.
However, Mary's family background also seems to be very powerful, otherwise, the hired tutor would not be qualified to deliver letters to the National Academy of Sciences.
He thought carefully whether making pen pals with such a young lady would bring him trouble. But considering that the two of them had never known each other before, didn't know each other's appearance, and were separated by half a continent, it shouldn't be possible.
While thinking, the bell hanging on the fence suddenly rang. This is equivalent to a doorbell, but be careful not to be stolen by passing children.
Leaving Chocolate to stay in the dining room, Jenkins stepped on his slippers and opened the door, and saw an unknown young girl standing outside the fence of his home, looking at the flowers in the yard on tiptoe.
This is a holdover from the previous owner, Jenkins waters it regularly and they are doing just fine.
"Hi, what's the matter?"
He walked into the yard and asked softly. While nodding to the girl, it was regarded as a greeting, while showing a smile on his face that he thought he was qualified.
He secretly suspected that this was his book fan, and somehow he got his address.
